This year is not much different from the previous. Except that the team has changed. Prior to the spring I made an agreement with a Single-A team to be their videodude for this season. Sky4ll is the name, and I’m looking forward to some jumps with them soon!

Other than that, my main focus will still be on the tandems, hopefully I’ll also be able to help with some more training of new TIs, but that is not clear as of yet.

I would also love to jump some wingsuitjumps again, and offcourse some more freefly, but there is simply not enough time to do it all! So I’ll do what I usually do.. Strap my camera on my head and jump jump jump!

Reaching november 12th, after almost 2 weeks sick in bed, my health is finally showing signs of regaining control! But this also means, that I’m slowly in the process of thinking about the next season. What to do? What shall happen?

There are still so many possibilities, but still not a whole lot of funds to go through them all. And the study has maximum priority, since it is the last semester. A new FF suit in the process of being made shows my basic plan for 2017. More freeflying, more sky-playing, just having fun in the sky, since that is what i really miss!

The PrimePickles, which I videoed in California, have decided not to go on, so I have no 4-way dedication for the next season. I should maybe look for a team to video, since it could be good fun to do, but you never know what you’ll end up with. Could also still be fun to join a team, but that is still a bit out of my price range, so I’ll probably stick with videoing for now.

I’m still researching for new equipment, since I would like to upgrade my video-setup, to improve the quality of the hardware, so I can focus on working on my own skills. But that off course also takes money. The same for jumping gear, always exploring ways of getting my hands on new and better equipment, so I can have more fun in the sky!

After just over 2 weeks in California, we are now almost ready to participate in the Danish Nationals in 4 way FS.

These weeks has given us 136 jumps diveded up on 12 days of jumping, simply amazing! The Prime Pickles kick ass!

I will just have to return to “the real world” for a week before it is boogie-time in Denmark, but hopefully I’ll soon have the time to go through the huge amount of photos that I have taken over this camp!

Generally I can only say this camp has been a huge success for me, improving my skills in so many ways! Getting advise from some of skydivings finest arial photographers!
